Why the 2010 Mazda MazdaSpeed3?

Feature availability

This car is loaded for the price. Keyless entry, premium audio and a ton of other features made me almost decide on this over a WRX. And the price is very competitive.

Audio & nav systems

Bose sounded great to me. For the price, even the tiny nav system seemed like a bargain.

Ride smoothness

No complaints at all. Not as sporty as others I have driven, but for everyday driving, this was very plush.

Price or payments

Compared to the Rallyart Sportback and the WRX wagon, you get a lot for your money.

Why Not the 2010 Mazda MazdaSpeed3?

Powertrain performance

Lack of AWD was reason #1 I did not buy. End of story.

Exterior styling

The rear end is pretty awful. The front-end is growing on me, but the overall look is pretty aggressive, and not in a good way in my opinion. To each his own.

Interior styling

"What is this hideous red giant halftone pattern all over my seats?"...asked the new owner of a Mazdaspeed 3.
